The first 'Ocean's 8' trailer may have hinted at Danny Ocean's fate — and it doesn't look good

It dropped a huge hint about the fate of Danny Ocean, the main character of the "Ocean's" trilogy.

It seems Danny has died, leading to questions about Debbie Ocean's motivation for executing her own heist.

On Tuesday morning, Warner Bros. released the first full-length trailer for "Ocean's 8"— the sequel and spin-off of its "Ocean's" movie franchise. The trailer introduced the plot of the new film, and made some nods to the original trilogy. It also dropped a small, subtle clue as to what happens to the original ring leader, Danny Ocean. And it doesn't look good.

A quick recap for those unfamiliar with the franchise (though, seriously, what are you waiting for?). Danny Ocean, played by George Clooney, was the lead conman in the 2001 debut film. Motivated by money, revenge, and love, he and his crew execute a heist at three Las Vegas major casinos. Ocean and his crew then go on to execute three major European heists in "Ocean's 12" and rob another casino in "Ocean's 13."

At the end of "Ocean's 13," Danny and his partner Rusty Ryan part ways at the airport with the implication that they may reunite for another heist some day. And if they did, it may have put Danny in the ground.

In the "Ocean's 8" trailer, we see Danny's sister Debbie Ocean (Sandra Bullock) sipping a cocktail in front of a tombstone. The name on that tombstone: Danny Ocean.

This then begs a question: Is Debbie executing her own heist to honor her deceased brother?

Well, it's highly unlikely. According to an IMDB summary, Debbie and Danny are estranged siblings. And although blood runs deep, I highly doubt she'd put her life on the line to honor a brother she hasn't been in touch with for some time.

Additionally, based on the trailer, it seems Debbie's motives are the same as her brother: money, a former love, and revenge on the woman who stole that love away.

Of course, this tombstone should be taken with a grain of salt. It's quite possible that Danny is still alive, and may even make a cameo at the end of the film. Clooney's co-star Matt Damon, who played Linus Caldwell, is already slated to make an appearance in the film.

Only time will tell what happened to Danny Ocean. But whatever his fate may be, I'm pretty sure his sister Debbie will do just fine.

"Ocean's 8" will be released on June 8, 2018.
